SEEN ON A CHURCH MESSAGE BOARD:

Heaven isn't a trick.
Hell isn't a treat.
Happy Halloween.

Wise words.

NO, SHE'S NOT CRAZY. You are.

A DEMOCRATIC PARTY HALLOWEEN.The original Michael Ramirez cartoon is here.

WHEN ADOLESCENTS GIVE UP POT, their cognition quickly improves. When Democrats give up pot, they become Republicans.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN:

And keep America great.

GEORGIA’S DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR calls for banning AR-15s.

Georgia's Democrat candidate for Governor is gonna lose ... bigly.

QUIT THINKING, JUST DO IT! Streisand 'thinking' about moving to Canada – again – if Democrats don’t prevail.

BLEXIT: African-Americans declaring independence from liberalism, the welfare state and the Democratic Party.

Heh. And overdue.

THE DEMOCRAT MID-TERM PLATFORM: "Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

SO NOW YOU KNOW IT ISN'T ABOUT ASYLUM: Migrant caravan, rejecting Mexican offers, continues drive north.

It's about free stuff....

EXPERTS: Anatomy does not determine gender. To be fair, neither does a brain determine sanity.

CHRIS CUOMO, CNN, AND THEIR FOLLOWERS ON THE LEFT are a continuing in-kind contribution to Trump 2020.

AUTUMN LEAVES INSTALLMENT VII

The first picture today is the deck view, just not taken from the deck but from the terrace below it. The only real difference from last week is the dearth of leaves. The deciduous trees are mostly leaf-free now; only the evergreens are left unscathed. The pond is now clearly visible from the house.

Nothing has really changed around the fire pit. We've seen some color changes in the last week through the neighborhood, but just not here.

With most of the leaves gone, the house is now pretty clearly visible through the 'forest'. The remaining trees are mostly evergreen, and the ground cover, mostly weeds, has died off.

Here's the usual pond view, taken from above the dock. I used the telephoto lens today, so the dock itself isn't in view.

Rather than the usual 'wayback' view from across the pond, this picture is taken from the east side of the pond, looking back toward the hill at the top of which is the road. It's one of the few places in the neighborhood where there is actual color other than shed, dead, and green.

For comparison, last week's pictures are here.

WIDE-SCALE U.S. WIND POWER could cause significant global warming. And for that matter, so can widespread use of EV's.

NUMBERS USA: Immigration, World Poverty and Gumballs.

FIVE DEMOCRATS who don't have a clue about the 'immigrant' caravan.

And all five can easily afford to buy one. Or three....

I THINK MICHAEL RAMIREZ got the Democrats' "civility" trope right.

HOW THE MOB WAS MADE: an introduction to toxic infatuation.

At the end of the day ... it is worth looking behind Hillary Clinton’s little emission about civility. What she meant, of course, was that civility was only possible when Democrats are in power. Only then can the noblesse oblige. The tort that makes civility impossible, in other words, is that Donald Trump won and she didn’t.

Read it all.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The white-privilege tedium.

WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE while trying to buy a car.

Unfortunately I think it's a fair assessment of too many of the Millenial generation.
